SUMMARY Susan Chesnutt interviews Dr. Nancy Vrechek to explore the dynamics and goals of Co-Parenting Counseling. Sometimes parents going through a divorce struggle to find solutions to issues that arise when deciding how to structure a successful co-parenting agreement. Dr. Vrechek shares important insights from her long career working with thousands of families as a parent coordinator and a social investigator. ------------------------------ HIGHLIGHTS [00:50] Susan introduces Dr. Nancy Vrecheck and she talks about Co-Parenting Counseling. [07:54] Dr. Vrecheck talks about the possibility of taking other responsibilities when you are a parent coordinator. [09:52] Dr. Vrecheck talks about her other profession which is being a social investigator. [15:35] What types of cases do social investigators handle? [22:23] Dr. Vrecheck tell us what we should do if we don’t have an attorney that offers these options. ------------------------------ QUOTES 4:47 “We can't help them with big adjustments, like swapping more or changing fundamentally the time sharing. We can help them decide how they want to do it, but again, nothing's legal until, the person in the black robe signs off on it.” 6:57 “I tell the mother; I can talk to your attorney about you. I tell the father, I can talk to your attorney about you, but I can't talk to the attorney about the other parent.” 10:40 “The idea of custody, if one parent has a little bit more, somehow they're better than the other, but by de-stigmatizing and talk about more about what's the best interest of the children in different time-sharing schedules. It keeps them parents more like co-parents.” 14:57 “Sometimes the parent becomes disabled, say they're in a car accident, and they're in a wheelchair, but they've recovered, but their capacity is diminished. They shouldn't just lose their child because of that.” 23:44 “Always take the high road. You can always take the high road.” ------------------------------ RESOURCES Dr. Nancy Vrecheck: (561) 747-3997 Webpage: https://www.vrechek.com/ Splitting By Bill Eddy : https://www.amazon.com/Splitting-Bill-Eddy-Randi-Kreger-audiobook/dp/B009TKK3YA https://www.thechesnuttlawfirm.com/ https://www.thechesnuttlawfirm.com/parenting-plan-lawyer/ https://www.thechesnuttlawfirm.com/make-up-time-sharing/
